So, we've all talked about giving your FB password, but get a load of this: I got this offer to go work for the summer at Oklahoma and they recommend I add the people who will be my superiors so to speak. Would you think that is a wise move?

I feel a bit uncomfortable with that. They say it's only to get to know each other, but I'm not so crazy with the idea. So, if someone asked you to add your boss, would you do it?

One of the upsides to Facebook is that they have made it possible to restrict what different types of people can see. I personally have added one of my work managers, however they find themselves in a special little group which restricts what they can and cannot see on my facebook profile.

So no, to me it isn't crazy to add a manager to your facebook profile however I would say your a little crazy adding them and not limiting access - but then again as they say if you have nothing to hide...

Do people not meet and/or introduce themselves to each other anyomore? You know have normal social or professional life? BTW, how do you "get to know someone" from posting crap on FB? I apologize for asking stupid questions but my FB account is very much neglected, visited maybe once a month as I waste too much time on a.net and elswhere already. I don't understand what is the big deal about FB...

First off I never add anyone to Facebook that I haven't meet in person. Also I have work people on my Facebook, I have people who are above me such as our district manager and I also have people that I am manger for. Both groups are restricted thanks to Facebooks privacy settings, just like flykev mentioned above. For example they can't see any pictures except my profile pictures. Do I really have anything to hid? No. But only my closest friends can see my pictures, while there is nothing illegal or outrageous in them, (well measuring outrageous according to the standards that any respectable young 20-year old gay man uses) they just don't need to see them.

Its just another way the employeer is trying to spy on your private life instead of asking for the password directly. So the same rule goes for me giving my password, not gonna happen. FB is a way for me to stay in touch with my friends and family, nothing more and nothing less. Having said that, my boss is on my FB friends list but thats simply because we've become very good friends outside of FB and the office over the years so I added a friend and not an employer.

Quoting Mir (Reply 6):If I had a close enough relationship with my supervisors that I felt I could add them, I'd do it. But that's the sort of thing that's built up over time - I certainly wouldn't do it right off the bat.

I'll most likely add them once I've become acquainted with them. If there's one thing people should know about me is that I'm very outspoken against many things (religion, politics, social issues, etc.) I don't want to jeopardize any good relations we might have.
